World Heart Day is a global campaign during which individuals, families, communities, and governments around the world participate in activities to take charge of their heart health and that of others.
Created by the World Heart Federation, World Heart Day informs people around the globe that Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) including heart disease and stroke, is the world’s leading cause of death claiming 18.6 million lives each year, and highlights the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control CVD.
It aims to drive action to educate people that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, at least 80% of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke could be avoided.
This year we are telling people to use heart to #UseHeartToConnect
Come down to the Piazza as from 11am on 29th September 2021 to create awareness on World Heart Day!!!
